Cooling System Repositioning

72 LSA Supercharged Monte Carlo Gets NASCAR Wheels, New LED Headlights, and Heat Exchanger Install!
What happens here
With the grille removed, the heat exchanger and transmission cooler can be accessed. First, remove the old, 'janky' radiator fan, which was previously zip-tied in place and used mismatched wiring. Then, adjust the position of the existing radiator within its cradle by loosening its mounting bolts and sliding it back to create more room. Carefully fit the LSX heat exchanger and transmission cooler side-by-side in the available space. The goal is to avoid stacking them or having them rub, ensuring adequate airflow to both units. Once positioned, secure them.
Goal: Properly position the heat exchanger and transmission cooler for optimal fitment and airflow.
